<p>Jamaica, I still don’t quite agree with what you are saying. The medical school does have a big influence on the undergraduate program, especially when it is right there as with Penn. There are many doctors in my family, including one that did pre-med at Johns Hopkins. One of the first thing one of these doctors noted about Penn was that the medical school is very conveniently located. I am pretty sure that most ivies have very similar pre-med opportunities. If any schools had a less rigorous program, it would probably be Brown and Dartmouth since they are not schools that excel in that area. The rest would probably prepare one in a way that would that would be almost indistinguishable. At this level though, one isn’t necessarily better than the other in broad terms, but rather for personal reasons.</p>
